The pocket case as above set forth will be found to be very convenient for the use of gentlemen and will serve a multitude of uses.

Having described my invention what I claim as new and desire to secure by Letters Patent is:

A combination pocket case comprising a pair of concave case members hingedly connected, a partition in one of said members near one end dividing it into two compartments, one adapted to receive cigars and the other matches, blocks fixed in the ends of said match compartment, and a flexible flap of greater width than the space between said blocks and adapted to fold over said match compartment, with the edges resting on said blocks, substantially as described.

In testimony whereof I have signed my name to this specification in the presence of two subscribing witnesses.
